Treatment of prominent ears
Surgery｜ Ria｜ Posting update : 2021.11.06
Some patients have prominent ears since childhood and seek correction. Prominent ears are malformations that make ears stick out. Otoplasty is a surgery that ensures a high success rate and minimal downtime.
Otoplasty can effectively correct the ear asymmetries and deformities. The surgeon makes an incision on the backside of the ears and changes the cartilage’s shape by folding it. This makes your ears look more pinned since they get closer to your head. The wound is closed with stitches and the dressing is applied to the incisional area.
For the first 3 weeks after the surgery, you need to avoid touching the incisional area and abstain from doing strenuous activities. Generally, the recovery is pretty fast ranging from 2-3 weeks.
